Tom, I am not sure whether or not Baofeng builds a radio specifically intended for 1.25 meters. However, I have the following information from a person who I consider to be a good and reliable information source. Apparently there is at least one company selling a Baofeng UV5 which they claim to have modified to work on 222 MHZ, but which in fact does not. This person and a friend of his each bought one. When the radio would not access a repeater about a mile away, and could barely hear that repeater, one of these individuals put this radio on a service monitor in order to see what was happening, or in this case, not happening. He found that in the 1.25 meter band, the receiver had a sensitivity that came in somewhere around 5 microvolts. Yes, that is 5, not point 5. A check of the transmitter then revealed an output of around 10 milliwatts in the high power position. The second radio tested almost identically awful. Both individuals called the company, and eventually received a full refund of their money. So, if you encounter an advertisement for a tri-band Baofeng, be very careful, and ask lots of questions if you think you absolutely must have one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Brennan" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2013 9:04 PM Subject: Baofeng question Seems that I recall some discussion awhile back about one of the Baofeng models having 1.25 meters on it. Anhyone recall which one that is? Tom Tom Brennan KD5VIJ, CCC-A/SLP web page http://titan.sfasu.edu/~g_brennantg/sonicpage.html
